Marco — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 14:08:03 +0000

Although the use of old Contax / Yashica lenses on Canon EOS bodies is relatively common, some exotic combinations of lenses and bodies are little documented. I have now had some experience adapting these lenses and I can report the … Continue reading →

Fuji Pro160C

Marco — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:52:37 +0000

Differently from the Ektar 100, that produces fantastic colours without any intervention with Photoshop, I totally dislike the Fujifilm Pro160C – that I have used for this edited photo of the Fire Brigade station in Darlington. Yet, I have seen … Continue reading →

Ektar colour palette

Marco — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:52:02 +0000

These photos (taken at the last Durham food fair) show, photographically speaking: that there is no substitute to Ektar for such colours (not touched in Photoshop) that there is no substitute to the EF 70-200 IS f/4 to shoot indoor

Uphill roads: Crossgate

I cut longitudinal strips of leeks and I made them curly and brown in some oil in my safepan. I replaced the leeks with frozen peas; added some water, waited for them to boil a couple of minutes, added salt, … Continue reading →

Short extension tubes

Marco — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 00:00:17 +0000

The first instinct when buying extension tubes is “the longer, the better” because a longer extensions allows a bigger magnification. However, not all images require large magnification. I shot these two photos with two Nikkors, the 20/3.5 UD AI and … Continue reading →

Street photography on iStock

Marco — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 20:43:07 +0000

I have a small (growing?) collection of street photography images on iStock. What is street photography? Certainly not reportage! S.p. features people, photographed in candid (un-staged, unexpected) situations, in the streets and public places. Difficult to define in words, but … Continue reading →
